Bike— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your response repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For a higher score, give a clear direct answer (yes/no) with 1–2 supporting details. Keep it natural, avoid repetition, and use linking words (for example, “Yes, I did. When I was about eight...” or “No, I didn’t, but…”). Limit your answer to up to five sentences and include specific details such as age, who gave the bike, or how often you rode it.

Ví dụ: Yes, I did. I got my first bike when I was eight and I rode it almost every day after school because it was my main way to get around the neighborhood. For example, I used it to visit friends and to go to the corner shop.

Gợi ý: Again, you repeated the question rather than answering. Provide a clear opinion first (Yes/No/Partly), then add specific reasons and examples using linking words such as “because,” “for example,” or “however.” Mention who uses bikes (commuters, children), where they are popular (cities, rural areas), or trends (shared bikes). Keep it concise and relevant.

Ví dụ: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short trips and commuting in cities. For example, in big cities you can see shared bikes and dedicated bike lanes, although they are less common in rural areas.

'The student repeated the examiner's questions instead of answering them, which is a pragmatic/sentence structure error: responses should be complete answers rather than echoing the question. For the first question the correct structure uses past simple for a past state: "I had a bike when I was a child." For the second question use present simple for a general opinion: "I think bikes are popular in my country." Suggestions: answer directly with subject + verb rather than repeating the interrogative; match tense to the time frame in the question (past simple for childhood, present simple for general opinions); keep responses concise and natural.'
